Influence of microstructure and internal stress on the mechanical behavior of electroplated gold freestanding thin films

Mechanical properties of freestanding electroplated gold thin films were studied in relationship to their geometrical and microstructural properties. Three different techniques of characterization were used: nanoindentation, bulge tests and microtensile tests. Results were compared to literature an...
